Man... wish i could make this...

Played goal middle school/high school/college.

:D

likwid, you cant make it ? come on, suit up for a game of hack and wack.....

Stopped at the rink today.....saturday nights 10:30 rink is open.

$140- -1 hr
$217.50- -1 hr 1/2

14 heads, including goalies....we'll be in for good bloody time:D.....I think an hour goes by to fast.

temps are dropping for the rest of this week-should have good ice on the shallower ponds by the weekend-I hate paying to skate:mad:

I'm 33 and stand six feet six inches. I played at University of Maine and started as a freshman. I play for the P-Bruins now, but they're think of bringing me up to the show.............................................. .....................:D

I'm 33 and short. I played in high school and haven't done much skating since. My back and legs hurt and my lungs are skimpy.
I'd love to give it a go. Full pads or just sticks and pucks?

I played an coached almost 25 yrs.would probably have a heart attack.if i gave it a go today.I'm a pathetic shell of the man I used to be.:smash: oh well.its to far to drive anyway.used to go to the lake with 10-15 sticks an pass them out all my buds would try to take the puck from me.man that is the best sport to play by far 90 seconds of pure adrenaline every 3 minutes.sucks to watch anymore.trap defenses put me to sleep.

They're skating on the bogs today!!

Skated today....nice nice ice;)

Any update on wether or not this is gonna happen? Skated all day saturday (real, real cold) and again for a few hours sunday in Scituate next to Belson's bait & Tackle when i went to drop my reels off. Any thing up for this weekend? Gonna have to do the old "zamboni thing" with this snow, but if a bunch wanna get together somewhere saturday, I'd be up for it along with at least 2 other buddies.
Traveling really isn't a problem. I can bring the nets.

After all the talk about doing this, lets try and pull it off.

That sounds great. Brooklawn park in the north end of NewBedford has excellent ice and plenty surface even an embankment on two sides. I'm into it! Can call hockey budds too.

Is Brooklawn the one on Acushnet Ave that is like a big duck pond? I always swung by there to see if people were skating back when I was in College down there, but there was never anyone playing hockey. I skated on it by myself twice. I used to drive all around Dartmouth and New Beige looking for people playing pond hockey, but always found the same thing. Lots of nice ice with nobody skating. I don't think many people down that way are into hockey, at least not like it is on the South Shore.
I am up for anything as long as it is a definite. Gotta let me know what the plans are by 3 friday, cause once I leave this place of misery, I have no web access till monday.....wait, make that Tuesday this weekend......A three day weekend comin' up.

Thats the one redlite, sunday morning there was a pick up game with nets, but your right, around here most are playin at Hetland rink. Hope some S-B'ers step up;)

Drove by the park, the whole ice surface has been plowed.

Its free.

Tempretures look real good for saturday sunday, not to cold.

Their giving away custom plugs to the first ten guys....sssh

Pond next to my house has about ten rinks shoveled off :happy:

Cal, Where in weymouth is this pond you live on ?( I temporarily live in Q-town). Goose, is the ice in New Beige good? Goose, send me a PM with a # I can reach you at in the morning (I am not gonna be home tonight and still have yet to replace the cell from the river boat incident) would prefer to play some good hockey and not have to shovel off the ice, did my share as a kid. Now that I am older, time to let the lil' ones do the work for me. So if it is gonna be good hockey for a few hours, I'll make the hour haul down there. Just let me know.

There is a very thin layer of snow one end of the plow blade didn't clean. More concerned with the # of bodies. I can drive to weymouth if there's better chance of having net's and skaters. I'm game!

Whitmans pond. I didn't think it would be safe the other day, but there were a bunch of people on it.

How bout if we get this bunch on the ice?

Goose--I'm working both days this weekend.

Can I play please?
What time and where?
It's been a while, I hope they're still sharp.

going to the game on sunday, so thats not good for me, but another day, definetley.

takin the kids skating today in walpole-pats game tomorrow

If anyone interted, Brooklawn park mentioned above. 11am, plenty skaters and nets

So, you guys play the other day?

Snow turned to light rain made conditions crapy.... forcast looks good this weekend.

Took my 4 year old daughter today for the first time.......she was scared to death! Daddy Daddy! I can't stand up!! :laughs:

I spent the weekend stapled to my "Executive Office Chair" with my head in a bucket. Got so dehydrated that the woman hooked me up to an IV. I skate 4 days a week and don't drink any water, so I get sick and dehydrated every week and need the woman to change my oil. A nice luxury, but you'd think I'd learn to drink water between shifts.
So I unforntunatley didn't get to skate at all outside this weekend.
Hope for some good ice by this wekend.

The Plymouth public rink has one hour open stick time on Fridays at noon til one.
You do need equipment especialy a helmet.
I've been a couple of times and a goalie has shown up both times, not many skaters only three or four.
One hour of ice for six bucks.
